Dear Janet, Nick and Zach, I can only imagine your grief and loss right now. I wish I could be there to share in honoring the life of your husband, Dad and my dear friend Rabbi Ed. Thank you for sharing him with us & for all of those special times worshiping our Messiah together. I’ll never forget the joy, love and laughter we shared. I love you like family, always have and always will. I sent 8 photos from the congregation to this site. I hope you got them. In Christ Jesus we will be together again.
Dan, John and Lisa, deeply saddened by your loss. Always fond memories of Eddie and your family. We are thinking of you during this difficult time.
Many wonderful memories as we gathered to worship our Messiah with the most humble and blessed teacher I ever encountered. I hope that these photos come through from our shul in Dover PA. Thank you Rabbi Ed, my dear friend and “adopted big brother”. I shall never forget all that you revealed about our Messiah and the joy you shared about being saved.
Dano, Lisa, and John. I’m so sorry and saddened about Eddie. I haven’t seen him in many years. I moved to Indiana and he moved out of the area too. I have 3 brothers and a sister but when we were in high school he was like having a fourth brother to All of us. Eddie and I sure had a lot of good times. He was truly part of our family and your parents and you all made me feel like part of yours. I remember the family coming home from church one Sunday and Eddie was sitting in the living room watching TV and eating a sandwich he made himself. That’s how at home he felt in our house. I think he complained to my mother that we were out of mustard or something. Hahaha. My deepest sympathies to you all and to his wife and children. Vjećnaja Pamjat ( (memory eternal). I wish I could be there for the services but I was just in town Monday and Tuesday and I’m helping our daughter move to Nashville and we are leaving Saturday. Take care. Mike Karas
One of the best Eddie stories was when Eddie and Danno Pledged the hardwood floor to a fine slick sheen. Gloria comes out of the room wearing socks and promptly takes a spill.I heard Big Ed wore himself out when he was able to get the two culprits. Eddie, A big grin with a big heart! God Bless the Frankovitch Family.
Not sure if this is the Ed Frankovitch I worked with in Seattle. Certainly looks like him. Gone too soon, even if it was not him. Kevin Daniel
